city. Nobody was killed, but Geo. Cable eng-

An Enterprisine Newspapers Writer.


An interesting case which WAS called up on
the district docket last spring is one which,
owing to the prominence and wealth of the par
ties uuwillinely concerned. has heretofore been
discreetly kept in the background. Among
those who passed last winter in Washington
were two young ladies whose coming had been
heralded by glowing accounts of the most fabu-
,ous wealth. Among the first call after their
arrival was one who introduced herself a
member of the press. upon whose shoulders de-
volved heavy weight of responsibility. The
accounts which this enterprsirg young person
gave of herself were quite interesting, and.
after enlsting the sympathies of her hearers,
she requested that she should DE included in the
list of invited guests upon such occasions
should be selected for giving afternoon teas
and receptions adding that the privilege
would be esteemed great one in view of her
calling. and would in no wise be abused. The
sisters consulted together, and, though averse
to having their entertain ments written up. they
finally concluded as they were strongly urged
in tho matter, to consent, for the purpose of
helping a fecT-sister in her laudabe endeavor
to earn her own living. So the matter was set

should be- Early in the spring. at the close of
the season, the sisters were sitting together

which this extraordinary request was received

itor, who stated that she had that
morning received a large sum from
the wife of prominent official, and that
for services rendered in the present her bill
would be 5000. Finding that the visitor was not

lady in desperation preferred $50 bili while
postulating against the sxtortion. The sum was

Philadelphia Women Not Pretty.

RnilAueIpDlA
A question much discussed in parlors and
clubs is whether beauty is dying out Three
propositions appear to be very generally accept
ed: First. that beauty among women and young
girls in the larger cities Is rarer than five ten
years ago; second. that ugly women are more
numerous, and third, that the higher
and more exclusive the circle. the more
fashionable and elegant the surroundings,
the less. a rule the physical attract'veness of
the woman. That there is a great decadence in
ply steal attractiveness among the young women
and girls just entering womanhood in the cities
cannot be doubted. Take the moss popular
thoroughfares. the thearers and the crest pub
lie gatherings, such as halls, and how rare ia q

occurrence to find girl woman

passers- by turned to look at her. The songs.
the ballads, the poetry and the fiction were full
of reference to beauty, whereas Low beauty is
but rarely sung, and even in fiction most of the
heroines are commonplace. But the scarcity of
beauty is not confined to fashionable society, a
circumstance that goes to show that fashionable
dissipation is not the whole root of the trouble
